Attention American fans going to Germany

[Chowderhead]

I have travelled in Europe pretty much every other summer for the last 7 years. I must say the anti-american sentiment was far more noticeable last summer than at any time previous. Not sure it will be as bad this summer as it really is about sport and partying.

Also, in conversation I just love how Europeans distance themselves from their governments' actions while disallowing us the same luxury. Be ready for it.

I hear you on that.

I think all the soccer fans come to Germany because of soccer. And during the World Cup Germany will be one big soccer world. It is sport number one in Germany and the WC is big event for Germany. I don´t think we will have time to think back and discuss Iraq story. We all will be concentrate on soccer only.

Bltleo-

Have you heard of a hotel called the Cityclass Caprice in Koln? I'll be staying there for 4 nights... Considering what they're charging during the WC, I would hope it's really nice/centrally located.

Like everyone else, I'm more than a little concerned about the fact that I don't have any kind of ticket confirmation from the USSF as of yet (all my hotels/flights/etc are already booked).

yes I have heard about the hotel. It is more simply hotel, but it is o.k.
It is near Cologne Dom, so pretty central. Near is old town city, Rhine river.
So very good localated hotel.

I´m glad that so many Americans will come to Cologne!!!

Maybe we can really organize meeting of US fans in Cologne.

I hope you and others get tickets soon. I wish I could help. But I´m not Fifa or USSF:).

Thanks.... You rock the house! It doesn't look too fancy on the website, but the location seems to be pretty much unbeatable.

yes the hotel you have choosen is really not the best from Cologne. I would book another hotel if I were you. But it will be probably more expansive.
But the advantage of the hotel is that it is pretty central. But if you like, I can try to find another hotel for you in Cologne, better one. But it might be a bit expansive then. It depends what you like.

My travel agent said that it was the best one still available (I guess viturally everything in Koln is booked already). I'm paying $299 a night, so I have no doubt that I'm getting completely ripped off. The rest of the hotels were half the price, but not as nice or centrally located.

The next step up was Koln Hilton, which is $800 a night for dates we want!

the hotel is pretty central. So it has many advantages.
well it is very central and very close to Dom.
did you see the hotel at the web-site? If no, I can send you it.
Well Euro is also expansive now. You need to pay more Euros for 1 dollar.
But don´t worry. You will enjoy the hotel. It is comfortable hotel. Not the best, but good one. Hotel rooms are comfortable. Dont´worry.

here about hotel in English language. The prize is o.k. because it is really very central. It is normal for Cologne. Hotels in Cologne are expansive.

My boyfriend and I are also staying at the Radisson SAS. It's nice to know there will be some fellow US fans at our hotel. Good luck with the tickets, I was lucky enough to get them in the first phase of the FIFA sale.
